Centred around a series of conversations with spiritual writers Sr. Joan looks at the common questions or dimensions of life as we know them in our daily lives, not answers as we've been given them, in an attempt to unravel their many meanings, to give them flesh, to honour their spiritual import now and here, in our own time and lives.

Following a moving prologue on the nature of faith, Called to Question is broken into six parts that explore key themes: the inward life, immersion in life, resistance, feminist spirituality, ecology, dailiness. Alive with the raw energy of a journal and polished with the skill of a master storyteller, each chapter is an engaging dialogue between Sister Joan and many different wisdom sources about such topics as God's existence and call, experience, struggle, justice, the role of women and men in society and church, living through doubt, and celebrating life. The paperback edition includes a new Prologue about the power of questions in today's society.
